Tons of new True Crime info

United Front Games' first take on the True Crime franchise sharply balances intense, scripted action-featuring violent contextual kill maneuvers from undercover cop protagonist Wei Shen-and a darker narrative with the many possibilities of an open world setting.

Looks intriguing. How come nobody's talking about this?

1: Cause it's True Crime, where the first 2 games were pretty damn mediocre.
2: It's not Rockstar who's making the game, so I doubt many people actually have faith that this game will be amazing, or that it will do the awesome city of Hong Kong justice.
3: There's hardly been any advertising or hype about this game (yet?), and considering it isn't CoD, I doubt there will be.

Personally, I'm a huge sandbox game, and I absolutely LOVE Hong Kong (been there 4 summers now, and went all over the place), and from what I've seen, read and heard about TC:HK, it just doesn't impress me one bit, for multiple reasons. Sadly.

I loved the first one, the second not so much. I have to see some more gameplay to decide rather I'm interesting or not.

even if this turns out to be surprisingly good, i dont think much of activision's games sell well outside of cod. other than the fact that they don't bother to market it, gamers are pretty much not interested to let activision have another cash cow. they seem to forget the people who made cod famous in the first place before the kiddies took notice of it.

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael79d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay78d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael78d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM78d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj78d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor78d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj78d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman78d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese78d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX78d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek78d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin78d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
